So why didn't you and tell her that you had withdrawn your consent?asked if she could ask us some questions.
I found the questions really intrusive and almost stopped answering at one point
Why not answer the door and inform her of your concerns/objections?I am not going to answer the door because she will have more information about me in one place that most of my family know about me.
Presumably not if she asked you if she could ask you the questions in the first place?Are I obliged to answer these questions?
A woman called to my house during the week saying she was from the central statistics office - the same people that do the census. She had proper id and all. She said our house was slected to take part in a survey and asked if she could ask us some questions.
The questions were to do with where you work, what is your salary bracket, are you happy with your work, do you own your house, what is your job title ......questions along those lines. She also asked for our names and dates of birth, nationality etc.....
I found the questions really intrusive and almost stopped answering at one point but she assured me that all details were confidential, but i dont understand why they wanted our names.
If they have appropriate ID I wouldn't be too concerned. Of course it's your own choice whether or not to take part. It would certainly appear to me the this is a more robust method of collecting data than anonymous postal surveys.
'....What I wont do is dig up my past and present affairs in front of a stranger who was taken off the dole into a job part time and have those details stored alongside my name...'
What has the fact that the person was possibly taken off the dole into a part time job got to do with this discussion?
Now a government postal address for a returned survey form I would trust a lot more.
A postal survey wouldn't achieve the same level of robustness
Yeah interrogating visitors with personal questions about me, visitors who answer the door in my absence, and recording in the laptop what those (intimidated) visitors say (about my household), all in my absence, is one way of getting their pound of flesh.
There is not much scientific merit in conducting a survey exclusively amongst people who like being interviewed.
sign, I understand your point about not wanting to provide your information to a stranger but what has the dole comment go to do with it?
If the interviewer was an a$$ there is no excusing that but I wouldn't let him/her put you off the idea of cooperating with the CSO in future. Analysing the personal data of a sample of the population allows the govt to strategically plan health services, education services, social services etc...
